it got me to thinking of music artists who had strong success after going on to solo careers.

Here’s some I thought of.

Paul McCartney (I know JL did also, but never as big as PM.)
Don Henley
Michael Jackson
Eric Clapton
Dianna Ross


Who else you got?

Joe Walsh


He's always been one of my favorites. His story is interesting. He started with the James Gang then went solo for the most part then joined the Eagles, then did a solo project which with good success then back with the Eagles.

Wasn;t she always a solo artist? I mean, sure she had the "Patty Smythe Group" but I consider that pretty much just sneaky solo.

Diana Ross
Mark Lanegan (if by successful, you mean awesome)
Neil Young
Joe Strummer
Henry Rollins

Do you think Lennon would have been as big if he was still alive today? Probably Yoko played a part as well
